Texture Mapping
Author
What i seen most of Texture mapping in opengl samples even in NeHe tutorial,use the bitmap having the pixel lenght 64,128,256.
Now please tell me how i map the bitmap other than this dimension ?

The images need to have their width and height as a power of 2. So they can be 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, etc
OpenGL requires textures to have dimensions which are powers of two greater than or equal to 16. Either dimension can be 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, etc. If you want to use a bitmap with non-power-of-two dimensions, then you have to load it into the next largest power-of-two texture and use the appropriate texture coordinates.

If you bind the texture using midmaps you can use different size bitmaps(see the Nehe tutorials)on texture filters.
